questions from delegates who wanted
to know if there would be more cars

Sale of Jafuuiese Stocks
eminent Givat
LONDON, Oct. 6 Japan has be
come nervous. Wise people have
been selling their Japanese securities
for many months past, and Japan has
been .buying them. This kind of a
game cannot go on forever not
even with the complaisant bank man
agers In London, who will always
advance on Japanese stocks as long
as the Japanese government keeps
handsome balances In the tills of
the said banks.
So, in order to Induce a fresh gang
of buyers to come in and replace the
old sellers, we are treated to a beau
tiful story of how Japan has deter
mined to turn over a new leaf. She
Is going to do wonderful things she
will devote $25,000,000 a year to re
ducing her debts she Intends to
continue her expenditure upon arma
ments, but she will extend the time
over which the proposed money is to
De spent rrom six to eleven years.
During this time she swears she will
not borrow any more money at
least, not much. She wisely leaves
a loophole, for Bhe has her state
railway system, which eats uo monev.
This money she will raise by means
or domestic bonds.
She also nobly declares that
any surpluses occur In the' future
they shall be excluded from ordinary
reserve. All of which sounds very
pretty, and were such promises made
oy me Chinese, or by any western
nation, they might be hailed as re
forms, but the little Jap Is the trick
lest thing ever seen upon enrth. He
can coo as sweetly as any dove, but
he has the claws of a tiger. He
sees very plainly that Europe Is dis
gusted with mm. The Fnkumnn
Railway has shown him In his true
colors. The cheating In trademarks
has exposed him to every trader. The
manipulation of his ycarlv budgets
nas Deen an eye-opener to the finan
cial world. Therefore he smiles
blandly, and' promises everything.
Gut he takes care to mark up all his
stocks thus -hoping to lure in the
unwary Investor.

LANDS FOR ENTRY
91,840 Acres in lane', Dougla:

mado at the time congress waB about
to pass a law .taking the power of
creating forest reserves out of his
hands. - RegardlesB of what had been
Bled on or selected under the lieu
land law, the President's order Bwept
almost every bit of unpatented land
into reserves. Thero it remained tin
til the government could select the
best timbered tracts that had not
been appropriated. This was follow
ed by throwing the remainder open
to entry, and the order for the open
ing next December Is one of several
that has been issued from the Inter
ior department Blnce thnt time,
Among other tilings the order says
that while the land will become sub
ject to settlement (squatting) on and
aftor Dec. 21. they will not be
avnilnble to entry, filing or selection
until on and after Jnnuary 20,
1909. Warning Is given that no per
son will be permitted to gain or ex
ercise any right whatever under any
settlement or occupation begun prior
to December 21. 1908, and "that all
such settlement or occupation Is
hereby forbidden."
